Much like in Super Mario RPG, the battles in Paper Mario relied on a cross between traditional turn-based RPG gameplay, and timed button presses (or other motions) for increased damage on enemies, or reduced damage taken from enemies. Unlike in Super Mario RPG, the size of a party in battle was reduced from 3 to 2, with Mario and one of the sidekick characters beating on enemies. However, sidekick characters were switchable, and it cost the sidekick their turn, unless equiped with a certain badge. Sidekicks had a limited damage capacity, and when it was overrun they were incapacitated for a few turns. If Mario ran out of Hit Points, however, the game was immediately lost (unless a 1-Up Mushroom was in your inventory, in which case Mario was immediately revived.)
Unlike many other RPGs, Paper Mario does not feature attacks that do 4,000 points of damage. The most Mario's Hit Points can go up to is less than 100, and an attack that does 10 damage can be considered extremely lethal. The uniqueness of Paper Mario's battle system lies in both these small numbers and an addition/subtraction system for calculating damage and level-up increases. For instance, Mario using his basic hammer against an enemy with zero defense will do 1 damage, 2 if the Action Command is successfully executed. If the enemy has 1 defense, then the aforementioned attack would do no damage or 1 damage, respectively.
Flower Points, like in Super Mario RPG, Flower Points are a shared resource between all characters, used for pulling off special techniques and other miscellaneous functions.
Badge Points were a method of limiting the amount of Badges Mario could equip. Different badges use up a different amount of Badge Points, which effectively limits the amount of badges that are able to be equipped and forces strategy to be used in different situations.
Similar to the levelling system in Super Mario RPG, a levelup allows the player to choose between raising HP, FP, and BP. Unlike in SMRPG, however, this was not a bonus to a set increase beforehand; this increase was the only method of raising the maximums. Each type of point could be raised 10 times, placing Mario's maximum level at 31.
